Booking for Dropzone 2019 is open. You'll find a link on that page too. It's a brand new booking system, so we might have a few teething problems, but I'm hoping the testing we've done will avoid any.

You can now book multiple tickets at once which will simplify things if you are booking for the whole family. In a couple of weeks, booking will open for the September 2019 and March 2020 High Frontier weekend games and you'll be able to book for them in one go.

The biggest changes to the booking system are under the hood and will make all the admin easier for Paul and Jenny.

Finally, we have a shiny new forum, which you are looking at now. The URL is https://forum.firefight.org.uk and is linked from the top of every page of the website. Special thanks to James for his efforts in getting it set up and configured.

This comes about for a number of reasons, including the difficulty in finding any past discussions on Facebook. You might find the moderators of the Facebook group encouraging you to move discussion to the forum.

Thanks to everyone involved in getting these new features set up and tested.

Hi all, as a follow to David’s post I would like to invite you all to connect to the new Firefight forum. You can use your Facebook login or create your own separate account, both will require you to have a valid email address for confirmation!

As to running both places, I envisage a transition time of around a month whilst people create their accounts and get used to the new environment. We will not be closing the facebook page down but general chat and discussion should begin to happen on this forum. If you have any issues with registering accounts or any other part of the forum then the team looking after it can be reached at forum@firefight.org.uk. I would just like to add my thanks to Dave Dorward for all of his assistance in the forums creation.

I had originally intended to include a link which populated PayPal with most of the data for the order, but that ended up being delayed due to admin issues and I neglected to put a plain link in there in the meantime. I've added that now (and it should be live in a few minutes).

The payment page says:

Unless you have made other arrangements with the game organiser and the treasurer, please pay £xx.xx to paypal@firefight.org.uk using PayPal.

So if you object to using PayPal, then please agree another payment method with Jenny.
